[Verse 1]

Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face, say!
[Verse 3]

Like a cripple running the rat race
A wish in one hand, shit in the other

[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well I don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face, say!
